Weekly Folly

Another stupid idea from stripey arse :) The striped arsed Badger had an idea about all the "musicians" in the group recording separate tracks into an OOFG jam. Well you can't say he didn't warn you. There was a bit on about software mixing programs, then the SAB admitted to being a bit of a transvestite. Obviously, this was much more interesting to talk about. Eventually Spinola popped in and killed the whole thread when he explained how it could be done fairly easily, and about how he blagged his Dalmatian, Josh.

Taxes "must rise" for NHS The ever humble and pleasant Mr. G rallied in about what must have been some story about health care taxes rising (Us yanks pay surprising little attention to this). I reckon Tamealien is behind it, I wouldn't put past him and his evil henchman raising taxes just to upset Mr. G. The first real mistake was Gazpacho offering that he move to the fair state of New Hampshire. We are currently in negations at the State Senate to assure that it will never happen, as well as imposing penalties against Mr. Gazpacho. The suggestion itself brought about a brief spat of Yank bashing yet again. After a brief discussion of NH and VT, the continually agreeable Mr. G brought the conversation to an in depth discourse of the lost cousin Americans. A discussion about the America and other parts of the British Commonwealth ensued.

Psychology 101 As another has already said. "Bloody Newbies"

Reasons / Persuasions to got to W2k Who in the hell is Alex kidding? Of course there is a fair share of MS Shills, and of course those looking to stay on the good side of the Doktor, in the hopes of a few scraps from the technology table. Other than the usual MS talk by the converts, i.e. "doesn't crash near as often," "The first real multitasking OS." You know, all the stuff we've been hearing since 95. After that there was some reminiscing of childish pranks. Then a bit of problems I had with W2k and CDs.

Death Penalty Nothing to see her folks, same bloody arguments people have been having for decades. Nothing new. Why the hell do we (not just here, but in general) continue to talk about crap like this?

There must be something to talk about! Hunh? Since when? Seems this particular instance of quiet was due to a hangover or two. A chat of pub quizzes and the damn teachers that win them followed. In post 19 Mikey showed his dark side a bit. Had GT, as well as others, a bit worried there. Of course after Mikey opened the dark side of his soul, a few others felt inclined to do so. Come to think of it, we might be better served by closing this chapter in our history.

In search of the lost msg Mr. Cold potato soup couldn't find a message from a previous day. We didn't spend more than a post or two, dawdled with last week's summary for a bit. Then got onto real business. Beer. Promethea showed his feminine side telling us he liked some citrus fruits in his beer. Flashy pulled a full left handed Frnht, with some space travel thingy. Luckily we were able to steer back towards Kars, and stuff like that. Frnht pulled a half nelson right handed Frnht, and started quoting Demolition man. Pretty much ended with everyone talking about what a great movie that was. Just goes to show the taste of an Englishman.

Hi-Fi Mr. G again, looking for an opinion on his choice of Lo-fi stereo equipment. Quite frankly no one had anything good to say about the amp, which is all we really talked about. Mostly links to stores one step up from Vito's used stereo equipment mobile van. Flashy once again showed his dark side, I must take blame for bringing it up, so we'll skip over that wont we. Though it was a week for slimy underbellies. Continued on with stereo advice until SGF cam in with a recommendation. Which brought out the geek Flashy with some kind of wibble collection. All I know was it was a bunch of stuff that looked like you opened some porn picture in notepad. All this led to a bunch of geek crap I don't even want to understand. Ended the week wit a variety of Newbie bashing and other such things.

HTML compression I guess I can't complain too much this week with the geek talk, but this was one of "those" kinds of thread. Surprised you people talk like that in public. Frnht did an admirable job of trying to pull us off topic with some kung fu movie thing. Took a couple of posts, as people still wanted to talk about Apache server nonsense. There was a bunch of stuff about some writing for a website, and taking the piss out of some marketing folk. I didn't follow that to well. A little ragging of the other halibut, and pay per snicker things.

Odd week, didn't have a whole lot of continuity. There was a bout of implausible newbies; one or two who kept bring my name up. What is it with newbies who seem to know something about me when they show up? Ya'll been talking about me?

***looks like they got routered

Sounds like voodoo to me. Harold's girlfriend does that kinda stuff all the time. One time her big mac didn't come the way she wanted it and the kid setting up trays had pimples the next day like you wouldn't believe.

Then the mechanic that told her that her 66 De Soto was clapped out.

Two weeks later he was taking shots for the same thing.

Yup, VooDoo.

You Young Whippersnappers,

These Are The Good Old Days!
